Trying to find this Elusive Downtown Deco Kit - Rocky Flats Depot

Good Morning JDaddy

The Yorke Rubbles depot is very similar to the DTD depot.  I do see the DTD depot pop up on auction every once in a while, actually fairly frequently

Not sure if this helps or not-

What auction site Jeff. I check almost daily on eBay for discontinued or limited run DD kits and after a couple of years have never seen this one.

Good Morning Joe-

eBay.  I have seen it a bunch of times over the past few years.  It sells for fairly cheap as well.  Did you put it in as a saved search with automatic notifications on eBay?

On second thought, I was thinking of Fallberg Flats DTD kit, which shows up often on eBay.  Rocky Flats is much more rare.  They are similar to Yorke's Rubbles and Rocopila.  One has the tower, one does not.  Below is a photo of Rubbles that I built.

Nice work Jeff and thanks I'll put it is as a saved search with notifications.

Jeff are these kits still available?

The Rubbles kit is available - looks to be ~$200.

Debt Inc (Dr Ben) sells the reproductions.  The originals pop pop on the bay every once in a while.  Depending on the time of year, and other bidders, they can go quite high, but sometimes they go surprisingly cheap.   The original turret has to be hollowed out if you want to add lights.

I like your number better... where did you find it for around 200?

the build up version is a little excessive.

Jeff are you talking about the Yorke kit or the DTD Rocky Flat kit?

Thanks!

I think it might be a bit cheaper directly through Deben.   The Yorke kit.  Dr Ben has the rights to a bunch of the old Yorke kits.  They are casted in LabStone, FWIW.

Thanks Jeff, I noticed you can purchase additional platforms and details. 

I  have a Rocky Flats I am willing to trade for other DTD kits, built or unbuilt below:
